Okay, let's admit it. 'Supes' get their powers in questionably weird ways -getting bitten by a radioactive spidey, getting struck by a lightening bolt or falling into an acid vat, consumed by an alien symbiote? Well, not as weird as our hero though. Because our so called supe got his powers when he (hold your breath) VAPED! Kevin Cormack is his real name. But he attributes his existence to his alter ego named - The Vape God. Nylla Vanstone (Nylla-Vanilla as Kevin likes to call her) is a plain Jane. She is officially sister-zoned in Pinewoods High school. Not because she's Kevin's sister or anything remotely similar, but because she's Kevin's little sister's best friend. However, things turned upside down when Kaycee Cormack, Kevin's sister, mysteriously disappeared a year ago. With a lone mom loosing her mind over Kaycee's disappearance, Kevin got into smoking weed and other weird stuff. And that's when the real story began.

"The dark abyss weighed heavy on me. It called my name, urging me to give in. It promised me a life of ease if I left this cruel world behind. The pain in my abdomen, white-hot and insistent, nearly pushed me to the brink, yet I hold on. Zander's face came to me in my unconsciousness, angry and accusing. It would be hard for him to forgive me for what I've put him through. It would be so much easier to give up, to enter the beyond, and not deal with the guilt and grief I would feel for the rest of my life. Still, I held on." ____________________________________ By the year 2320, nuclear warfare has killed most of the world's population.

Those who are deemed "unsuitable" for the new world are banished into the wastelands to die, while the "suitable" enjoy a life of luxury. What no one anticipates is that the unsuits persevere, forming a society of their own, and they want vengeance for the decades of wrongful treatment. Now the world is on the brink of a second war, and Kai finds herself at the middle of it. She embarks on an incredible journey of self-discovery, betrayal, and romance as she finds her place in this new world. © Dawn Norwell *1st place winner in the Creativity Awards *1st place winner in the Blossoming Story Awards 2019 *1st place winner in the Dauntless Warrior Awards *1st place winner of The Black and Gold Leaf Awards *2nd place winner in the Midnight Sun Awards *3rd place winner in the Winners Circle Awards 2019 *Ranked #3 in Future Fantasy ____________________________________ "I absolutely LOVED this!!
